Tragedy struck the mountain hamlet of Irshalwadi in the western state of Maharashtra last Thursday, as a devastating landslide claimed the lives of at least 27 people and left more than 50 others missing. Indian rescuers have now made the difficult decision to call off the search for survivors, signalling the grim reality of the situation.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) took on the challenging task of conducting search and rescue operations in the aftermath of the landslide. Despite their relentless efforts, they were unable to locate any more survivors, leading them to conclude the search and officially close the operation.
